| Why "bookshelf" sspeakers? You can only make a small speaker so big, which is to say that a stand-mounted speaker is usually just that: small. However some larger speakers, albeit mostly pro segment, aren’t shaped like towers - like ATC’s pro, active monitors SCM150 and 30... | |

| DSP Active Crossover @simonmoon wrote: I’ve heard several systems with the mini DSP, and have been unimpressed. I’ve also heard several very high end DSP systems, including the Kyron. And that system kills! Even Mr. analog, Michael Fremer loves it. But my overall ... | |
| Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti @acman3 -- It sounds to me it's not really about the prototype Alura's taking up some (relatively limited) space in your living room; it's that there are any speakers in there that need a minimum of dedicated space for them to function properly. ... | |

| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @mijostyn wrote: There seems to be a genital competition here. It has been my experience that most persons, lacking exposure, really have no idea. They like Hollandaise sauce but have never had real homemade Hollandaise. The trick is to leave th... | |

| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @mijostyn wrote: 200 Watts will get you 106 dB with an 83 dB efficient speaker, more than enough to handle peaks from a comfortably loud 95 dB. We'll have to remember that's a best case, theoretical estimate - at 1 meter, mind you - that doesn... | |

| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @daveyf wrote: The point you seem to be making is that a big speaker can be made to work well in a small space.

| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @mijostyn wrote: Small speakers only sound small because of no low bass and visual considerations.
